I agree with Mark...there is the possibility that you could get your P. incarnata through the winter outdoors with lots and lots of mulch, but you are much more likely to lose it.

I have a large P. incarnata in a 14" plastic pot that I EASILY overwinter in my basement, even though there is virtually no light down there. I just give it a cup or two of water every week or so to keep it alive and then bring it back out into the garden in the spring. I encourage you to give this US-native species a try!
